http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22362 Had total thyroidectomy 9 months ago and started taking Synthroid immediately thereafter. For the last 4 months I have noticed significant hair thinning.

Before my surgery my hair fell out and I was bald in places. My hair started coming in about 3 months later, but my weight started growing. I felt tired, bloated, and tried to act as I h http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22362?item=21946
